Ham Photos is a growing archive of photos of Ham (part of Richmond upon Thames in south-west London) where I have lived since 1996. It delights in the unusual, the unexpected and the unnoticed.

Awakening trees

Ham Lands is a generic name for the untamed area between the river and the bravest houses that creep towards it. The land changes character several times as it follows the Thames around the long slow curve towards Richmond making it a collection of wild places rather than just one.

Each section has its own attractions, its own reasons for drawing you there, and here (by Beaufort Court) it's the trees and the paths threading through them.
